  1. Cleanse

Start your day with a clean slate! An essential skincare regimen involves washing your face as the first step to removing excess oil, grime, and dead cells that may have accumulated on your skin overnight. Beyond cleansing, it also allows other products to absorb into your skin for maximum benefits.

Enter, Jeju Aloe Fresh Soothing Foam Cleanser, a pH-balancing cleanser power-packed with Aloe Vera leaf extracts from the Jeju Island to provide your skin with a boost of hydration. The gel-based formula not only smells divine but also soothes and moisturizes the skin without leaving any stickiness.

  • Treat

The next step is to apply a nice facial toner to your freshly washed skin. After a shave is always the best time to perform this step. A toner not only helps clean post-shave residue but also refines pores while balancing the pH of your skin.

When it comes to toners, our best bet is the belif Eucalyptus Herbal Extract Toner. Reinforcing the skin’s barrier, Eucalyptus is known for its anti-inflammatory benefits. The toner also contains Apple Mint to help fight itchiness caused by shaving.

  • Repair

It’s time to soak up the benefits of actives into your skin for a youthful glow. Serums contain ingredients that boost collagen production and restore skin damage caused by pollution, environmental triggers, and hormonal changes.

If you have normal to dry skin, try the Collagen Pomegranate Volume Lifting Serum. This intense firming serum helps improve skin elasticity and prevents the formation of wrinkles, thereby reducing signs of aging.

  • Moisturize

A moisturizer not only helps lock in the benefits of your serum but also soothes and hydrates the skin. On the days you shave, this step becomes even more crucial as shaving strips away layers from the skin, making it dry and itchy.

If The Face Shop is involved, you know that the belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb is a product that cannot be skipped. This ultra-moisturizing cream contains herbs historically used by farmers to heal dry, calloused hands. The cream is best known for deeply nourishing dull, flaky skin, leaving it supple and smooth.

Price: AED 215

  • Protect

Sun protection is a step that often gets neglected! The UV rays from the sun are 90% responsible for skin aging. Your moisturizer may or may not include enough SPF. Make sure to add an actual sunscreen product into your routine that has a minimum of SPF 30.

To complete your skincare regimen, apply the Dr. Belmeur UV Derma Mineral Sun Cream all year round, and not just in summer. This sun cream contains SPF 48, Calamine, Vitamin E, and Zinc Oxide to offer strong UV protection while soothing damaged and sensitive skin.
